The Shadid's: From the JUNGLE to PARADISE

We made it to the Bahamas and all i can say is I will be on vacation for the next 8 months. This place is awesome. It is beautiful and and very Americanized. Before we got here we made a pit stop in Miami for the National Championship game. Although the outcome wasn't what we had hoped for it was still very fun and we really enjoyed it. We had endzone seats which sounds bad but they were really good seats. We were in the middle of the endzone and you could definitely see the whole field. We had a good time. The weather was really nice and we actually got pretty cold by about half time. Besides the Sooners it was a lot of fun. We stayed the night in Miami at Ashley and Ryans place. I was sad because I didn't get to see Ashley because she was still in Tennessee, but Ryan had already moved there to start studying for the Comp. They have a really great place, which was fairly close to where we lived before. It was fun to go back and see where we used to live.

The Bahamas have been amazing. There are great restaurants, the people are so nice, and it is very Americanized. We absolutely love our new apartment. It is bigger than our apartment before and everyone lives here so it is fun to have neighbors that we know. Our whole apartment complex is made up of Ross students. Since we have been here we have gone to the grocery store, the Cosco, and have just been trying to get situated. Yes they have a Cosco! It is amazing. It is actually called Cost Right but it is just like a Cosco or a Sams. It is awesome!
